-HOW TO PLAY-

🎲 OBJECTIVE

Be the first player to collect 6 Point Cards by playing the worst possible response to twisted scenarios — without crossing the line so hard you get punished for it.

🧱 SETUP

• Shuffle the Scenario deck, Response deck, Dead Hand deck, Judgment Pile, and Sin Pile separately.

• Each player is dealt 10 Response cards.

• Each player draws a card from the Judgment Pile.

 The player who draws the JUDGE card is the Judge for Round 1.

🔁 GAMEPLAY

1. The Scenario

• The Judge draws a Scenario card and reads it aloud to the group.

2. Play Responses

• Each non-Judge player picks their worst possible Response card.

• Players take turns reading their card out loud and placing it face up.

💀 If a player has no playable Response, they may:

• Discard one card

• Draw from the Dead Hand deck

• Choose and read one of the options aloud instead

⚠️ Each player may only use the Dead Hand up to 3 times per game.

3. Judging

• The Judge selects the filthiest, funniest, or most disturbing Response.

• The winner:

• Discards their winning Response

• Draws a new card (always 10 in hand)

• Gains 1 Point Card

• The losing players’ cards are:

• Collected and shuffled

• Randomly dealt back (you may or may not get your own card back)

⚖️ THE SIN PILE (Judgment Consequences)

If the Judge thinks a Response is too sick, even for THE LINE, they may send that player to the Sin Pile.

• The player draws a Sin Pile card, which contains a brutal truth question

• They must read it aloud and answer honestly

• Refusing to answer results in the loss of 1 Point Card

You get one Sin Pass per game. Use it wisely.

🏆 WINNING THE GAME

The first player to collect 6 Point Cards wins.

No trophy. No respect. Just depraved victory and the lasting fear of who you’ve become.

🧨 OPTIONAL CHAOS RULES

🔄 Judgment Pile Shuffle

• At the end of each round, shuffle the Judgment Pile.

• Players draw again — the Judge role rotates randomly every time.

🪦 Dead Hand Limit

• Dead Hand use is tracked per player (max 3)

• Run out? You play what you’ve got — no mercy.
